I’m sorry you’re in this position. I hope things improve for you soon. I hope things improve for all of us soon because it feels like most people are getting shafted hard.

A coworker I really enjoyed working with is leaving in two weeks and it made me realize how I’m being severely underpaid. But the stress of job hunting has my stomach in knots.

I think societies would need to rethink and reasses hiw work is done. Maybe I’m naive for thinking that one day it will happen. Maybe not in our lifetime but I hope that someday people in every type of job get paid a living wage and are treated better overall.

That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I love learning about sub genres

Did you mean The Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds?

Ohhhh after seeing the trailer I bet you any money you’re right. I guess the one nice thing is that area also is good for farming exp. So if you are needing to access it quick it might not be so bad…

I reallllly hope we don’t have to finish the story to jump into the DLC. After an almost 200 hour first playthrough I thought “oh man I want to do this again!” I got a quarter way through NG+ and put the game down and didn’t get around to finishing it.

I loved Elden ring as a concept, I think it was an extremely interesting twist on the formula. However for replayability I feel like it suffered heavily. The vast open world takes a long time to get through (mainly if you’re really trying to beeline directly from point A to B.) And if you need specific items or materials I feel like having to replay the various tombs /mini dungeons would be more chore like than fun.

I only came to this realization after playing demon souls and bloodborne for the first time recently. There’s very little filler a person would need to go through when replaying those older fromsoft titles. I’m so torn though because I really liked exploring in Elden Ring.

Sorry for the novel lol

I fear for Jet Set Radio. Edit: nevermind i guess they are trying to ruin that too

At least we got Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

First Shenmue got all messed up and now this. Nothing is sacred lol. I hope they reassess their head in assery

Yeah thats one thing I’ve been really disappointed by with the new consoles. Nothing really jumps out at me when I think of exclusives or “next gen” gaming experiences. I think part of the issue is the pandemic really messed up development, but also I think these consoles need to stick around longer.

After 3 or so years they consider the consoles “dead” and then it feels like everything just shifts towards the next console. I would like to see these companies taking more creative risks like we saw in the 90’s and 2000’s. The past decade has felt…very stagnant

The only games I’ve been paying full price for are games that I have been looking forward to for a very long time/games that I know for a fact I will 200% enjoy. Otherwise I’m waiting for steep sales of at least 50%, but usually more.

The only exception are Nintendo games because they rarely go on sale and when they do it’s not a super amazing sale price. But because of that I buy way less Nintendo games and only buy the ones I absolutely know I’ll enjoy. It’s a lot more rare that I’ll take a risk.
